Parker Home and Community Based Services

During 2022, Parker Home & Community Based Services served 200 (includes medical day care, social day care, and additional outreach to the surrounding communities). In the medical day care, the seniors have chronic medical conditions which prohibit them from being able to perform activities of daily living independently and cause them to be dependent upon a primary caregiver to remain in the Community. The most common condition is a dementia illness such as alzheimer's disease. The primary caregiver is usually a spouse or adult child. The program offers the seniors health monitoring by a registered nurse including support with medication and disease management, such as diabetes and hypertension. In addition and through the social day care and Community outreach, the seniors benefit from therapy, transportation, nutritious meals, and social activity programs.
